ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 Orange County's Oldest Newspaper HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. MRS. HENRY KUCHEL — THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers THE VICTORY CELEBRATION A heartening and thoroughly American celebration was the Democratic victory party held in Santa Ana early in the week. Assembled there were successful and unsuccessful candidates together with members of both major political parties. The Democratic high command were celebrating their clean sweep in the national political arena which was nearly duplicated in the county. A good many Republicans were there to offer their congratulations. Of course there was a good deal of 'razzing' going on in a good natured way. The sportsmanship exhibited in both sides marked the fundamental fairness of the American people. It showed that we can settle our differences by ballots and not by bullets. It showed that the great mass of people can get above party lines and vote for the man whom they believe best able to take governmental responsibility. Where else can we find a like situation? Where else are battle fought out in the open? Where else are divergent political views urged and argued with more heat and after decision at the polls accepted and supported by both factions with the exception only of a small minority of disgruntled on both sides? And the answer? We are Americans FIRST. Let us be proud of it. THE FOREIGN OUTLOOK Where else can we find a like situation? Where else are battle fought out in the open? Where else are divergent political views urged and argued with more heat and after decision at the polls accepted and supported by both factions with the exception only of a small minority of disgruntled on both sides? And the answer? We are Americans FIRST. Let us be proud of it. THE FOREIGN OUTLOOK Along with the messages of congratulation which come from all over America to President Roosevelt, regarding his unprecedented victory in the November elections, press dispatches give us some account of the felicitation in Europe over the election results in the United States. In Great Britain, France and Geneva, we are informed, the rejoicing is considerable. Lord Weaverbrook's London Daily Express is quoted as stating: "Roosevelt, we think you're grand. Salute!" In Paris we are told both the Rightists and the Leftists, looked aside from their bitter quarrels for the moment to rejoice over Mr. Roosevelt's victory. The Leftist newspaper L'Ouvre is quoted as commenting: "If France lives tragic hours again, she will certainly have as the head of the great American democracy the man who will be able to do the most for her." In Italy Fascist newspapers hailed Mr. Roosevelt's victory, because he is better known than Governor Landon and because the Italians admire his frequent quick and decisive acts. Tokio newspapers stated that Mr. Roosevelt's re-election would affect American and Japanese relations favorably while in Russia the state inspired newspapers expressed approval of the New Deal's victory because of Russian recognition and voiced the belief that there would be no change in Russo-American relations. German newspapers expressed satisfaction over the result, some of them adding, however, that they realized foreign issues had no part in the American campaign. Canadian newspapers and officials expressed satisfaction over the New Deal victory because they felt it meant greater trade between Canada and the United States, while there were expressions of satisfaction at Geneva with the belief that the victory meant closer cooperation between the United States and the international capital.

Big Issues—Monetary Policy, Tax Structure—Face New Congress BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT WASHINGTON. — Big issues face the 75th Congress, which will meet Jan. 5. Before Jan. 30, it must decide whether it will continue the president's power to fix the gold content of the dollar between 50 and 60 per cent of its former amount. On the same date the president's power to fix the weight of the silver dollar and its relation to the gold dollar will expire, unless Congress decrees otherwise. Some $750,000,000 of silver has been purchased since 1934 in the execution of the present silver policy of Congress. If Congress should fail to take action on the monetary policies before Jan. 30 the stabilization fund, which has been built up out of the government's $2,000,000,000 profit on the devaluation of the dollar, will pass into the Treasury Department's general balance. President Roosevelt has promised that, without increasing existing levies or creating new ones, the tax structure will be reviewed by the next Congress. Excise taxes which have piled up a profit for the government of $300,000,000 during the last fiscal year will expire on next June 30. UNDER the present law, the president is authorized only up to next June 12 to negotiate reciprocal trade agreements with foreign countries. With this time limitation, the president has the power to increase or lower existing tariffs by 50 per cent. In the recent election campaign, these agreements were bitterly attacked by the Republican party. Many of the relief measures will die unless Congress gives them a "new lease on life." Funds of the Civilian Conservation Corps will last until March 31, and the life of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation will end Feb. 1 unless it is revived. Next June is the limit set for the operation of the "Hot Oil" law under which the government undertakes to conserve oil resources, in co-operation with the states. If sugar quotas and certain features of the Soil Conservation act are to be extended beyond the next year, Congress must stamp them with its approval. WHEN the Neutrality act comes up for extension or revision by Congress May 1, the U.S. Supreme Court will have already handed down a decision on the "principle of embargoes" which may shape future peace promotion policies. The influence of the supreme court on legislative plans is much in mind these days, for there is talk of a new law which will exemplify what was best and eliminate what was bad in the old NIRA. Laborites in Washington are waiting anxiously to see what Congress will do to restore the benefits sought in the Gulley Coal act. All in all, official Washington looks forward to a busy year. The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California through revamping of Calif's election laws, designed to loop-holes and eliminate which came to light during recent campaigns, promise become a major order of the state legislature. Proposed changes in electrocure, which are intend-curb the operations of poli-card sharps, will be aimed at strengthening the in- and referendum, accord-post-election discussions. One of the most flagrant abusich the lawmakers will seek too is the discredited trick of two-in-one!" This con-fit combining a good measure a bad measure in a singleusal and snaring the per-podge his blessing on elec-lay. When the lawmakers meet at mento in January, threeipal changes in the initiaws will be sought as a re-fit the bitterly contested 1936aign, as follows: A definite limitation on the of initiative proposals and institutional amendments, re-ging each measure to a single act. A somewhat similar reason already obtains with regard to legislative statutes, but not extend to measures sub-direct to the people. This action is designed to prohibit some of the charges of misrepresentation and trickery during the recent campaigns were doubtless groundless, no one can deny that some of the measures were flying under false colors and represented an attempt to dune "old signatures," augmented by "supplemental petitions," to qualify a measure for a later election which had failed to qualify when originally presented. At least a half dozen measures appeared on the ballot this year which embodied some or all of the evils which the legislature will seek to correct. The "single tax"—sales tax repeal act, which was finally barred from the ballot by action of the state supreme court, was a glaring example of all three abuses. Finally thrown out by reason of a deceptive and misleading title, it also exemplified the "two-in-one" trick at its worst, with the bait of sales tax repeal being used in an attempt to induce the people to establish the "single tax," an exorbitant land tax which would have resulted in the wholesale confiscation of homes and farms. Likewise, the "single tax"—sales tax repeal act had failed to qualify for the 1934 election and the old petitions were used, plus new petitions circulated after its first failure, in an attempt to place the measure on the ballot at this year's election. Although some of the charges of misrepresentation and trickery during the recent campaigns were doubtless groundless, no one can deny that some of the measures were flying under false colors and represented an attempt to dune Pals Now; But on Nov. 26! Here's one turkey gobbler apparently in pretty good mood, considering this is November. He was getting along all right with Jeanne Struthers when this picture was taken at a turkey roundup on a Utah farm. But if he only realized that Miss Struthers was just using him for display previous to Thanksgiving! might inflate until it appeared to workers a sufficient excuse for a strike. But on one point it now seems improbable the ranchers will be disposed to give ground. That is the recognition of any agricultural workers' union. As nearly as it can, the Farm Bureau Federation has frowned upon such unions and its attitude accords rather closely with the sentiment one finds among citrus growers.

Although some of the charges of misrepresentation and trickery during the recent campaigns were doubtless groundless, no one can deny that some of the measures were flying under false colors and represented an attempt to dupe the voters. For the welfare of both the people and government, the legislature should do everything possible to prevent tricking of the electorate and to facilitate the consideration of issues on their merits. California agriculture, having escaped the threat of the deceptively-titled and deceptively-presented "single tax" only because some one had the good judgment to force the question to a supreme court decision, will look with favor on any action which the legislators may take to require an honest presentation of public issues. ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY WATCHTOWER A Compilation of Observation and Comment by and for the Weekly Newspapers of the County APPEARING IN THE FOLLOWING: Antington Beach News Newport Beach News Garden Grove News Nanta Ana Bulletin Westminster Gazette Coastline Dispatch South Coast News Buena Park News Yorba Linda Star Accentia Courler Anaheim Gazette Seal Beach News Habra Star Tustin News Brea Progress In the California highway patrol Orange countyQUately, it will have to increase its squad to a minimum of men in the opinion of Capt. C. Meehan, who has been in charge of the squad for many years. Now the squad is composed of captain, one clerk or desk staff and 15 patrolmen. It is from May to November to the annual vacations out of way. Then each man is not reasonably entitled to one day each week. Sickness and injuries reduce the number of men active duty at times. And not frequently the Orange squad is last one this county would see. And the forehanded among them have been considering what might be done to lessen the danger besides growling that the trouble makers ought to be "sent back where the came from." Among ranchers there is at least a considerable, and growing, minority who believe the first step in combatting the danger is to make sure there is among their workers no reasonable ground for discontent which the professional agitators might inflate until it appeared to workers a sufficient excuse for a strike. But on one point it now seems improbable the ranchers will be disposed to give ground. That is the recognition of any agricultural workers' union. As nearly as it can, the Farm Bureau Federation has frowned upon such unions and its attitude accords rather closely with the sentiment one finds among citrus growers. Many growers have noted with interest figures recently published by farm advisor Harold Wahlberg. The figures included an estimate that the citrus industry gave employment during the season to 61,500 persons in Orange county. Picking and hauling of fruit cost the ranchers of the county $1,750,-000, he said, and packing house labor received a total of $2,150,-000. Grand total, $3,900,000. Average per worker, $500 a year. More interesting, to some of the growers, is the figure Wahlberg gave as the cost to the grower of boxing and packing materials. It is $2,700,000, which is $550,000 more than was paid to packing house workers and $950,-000 more than the total bill of the pickers. Most growers recognize that an attractive pack is one of the first necessities in modern merchandising, but some of them have begun wondering if this was not a place where intelligence might find a way of cutting expense without lessening the sales appeal of the packed fruit. The ordinary fellow's "courage" is the realization that he has nothing to fear or nothing to lose. FEDCO Trade Mark Reg.)

LEMON ST., ANAHEIM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TELEPHONE COMPANY Anaheim 2101 Bureau Opened For Speakers At Santa Ana A speaker's bureau designed for the purpose of supplying speakers for programs of church, parent-teacher, women's service, fraternal and other organizations has been established with headquarters in Room 118 of the Frances Willard junior high school, Santa Ana, it is announced, under the direction of Mrs. Muriel White who is connected with the adult education department of Santa Ana. The primary purpose of the bureau, according to Mrs. White, is to bring before the residents of Orange county speakers who are a part of this community and who have a viewpoint to express in their own fields of interest. Already a wide list of men and women eligible as speakers and selected for their ability to present a variety of subjects has been secured, it was said. Although an outgrowth of the Orange county federal forums, it is not directly connected with the forums nor is it financed by it, it was pointed out. Homer C. Chaney, forum director, has, however, offered the services of the forum leaders who will officiate without charge, the only requirement being that the organizations before whom the leaders are to talk anticipate an attendance of a hundred or more. It was also emphasized that the speaker's bureau makes no charge for its service in supplying speakers and it is planned to carry the movement through until June. If there is sufficient demand for its services there is a possibility of its Jones and Nosler Purchase Market Announcement was made this week of the purchase of the vegetable market at the Greater Anaheim market by Jones and Nosler. The store was purchased from Ed Frazzee. Jones and Nosler have been in the fruit and vegetable business in Orange county for many years. They operate a vegetable market at Fullerton and recently sold a market at Laguna Beach in order to situate in Anaheim. The local store will be managed by Mr. and Mrs. K. E. Nosler. "The finest fruits and vegetables at moderate prices will be offered," the new owners declared. compensate him for his services. It is requested that all communications and inquiries concerning the bureau be addressed to Mrs. White at the Willard junior high school through Chaney's office. The above movement, it was stated, has the cooperation of the American Institute of Banking, the Santa Ana adult education faculty and many individuals. Float Entered by Placentia Groups Placentia organizations were represented in a float and marching unit representing the city of Placentia at the Armistice Day parade in Santa Ana yesterday. "Safety First" was the general theme of the float. The marching unit of the American Legion post was under the direction of Warren M. Bradford. Placentia schools, Boy Scouts, and the Legion posts were the originators of the combined idea. Committee members in charge of the entries were William Purdy, Valencia high school; A. P. Patten, grammar schools; Mrs. W. W. Schade, Bradford P.-T. A.; Mrs. T. L. McFadden, Placentia Round Table; Mrs. J. L. Enfield, Grace Parlor, Native Daughters of the Golden West; Mrs. Ira W. McNames, W. C. T. U., Mrs. Frank Anderson, American Legion auxiliary; Howard Jerome, city council; L. T. Allredge and E. M. Everett, chamber of commerce; H. E. Douglas, Boy Scouts; and L. T. Gillilan, Earl Denny, Russell Dunham, and John Sherman, American Legion post. It's a mistaken idea that, because IRIS stands for top quality, everyone can't afford it.
